It was, however, so necessary to proceed cau­ tiously for fear of injuring those beneath the wreckage that only small progress could be made, and at the same time our hearts were almost sickened by the piteous at)- pealafM help. Some ^rere so jammed that it took hours to rescue them, and when at length the obstacles were removed it was iu many cases found they had succumbed to their injuries, while in a few Instances reason haa given way under the fearful strain.

Numbers disappointed here have gone on to Casamicciola, bnt all the dead bodies of vis­ itors recovered are brought to this place for Identification Boats have been arriving hourly throughout the morning packed with the dead and dying; In one instance the cargo consisted of twenty-four little children, some of the infants all laid out in thtir white Pbroudx.

The earthquake appears to have run across the island from west to eaet, and, beside the towns I have enumerated, all the adjacent villagea and hamlets have more or lees suffered. The first and most fatal shock was accompanied by a noise resembling loud thunden The succeeding shocks were less clearly marked, bnt they served to ex­ tend the devastation and complete the fearful panic that set in throughout the greater part of the island The previous weather had been splendid, but a violent storm set in the day following the disasters, and this, accompanied by almost total dark­ ness, added greatly to the horror of toe scene, and rendered transit from the isl nd to the main land very difficult It is pointed out as significant that Vesuvius had been unusually active just before the shock. THE FUTUB7. The so -called earthquake of 1881, in which over 80J people perished and most of the smaller buildings in Cacamicciola were de­ stroyed, was in reality a sudden collapse of the sou. The present catastrophe is also ascribed to an earth tremor, but Prot Pal- mierl, the Director of the Yesuvlan Observa­ tory, denies that this has been the case, and attributes the calamity, as he did the exact­ ly similar one of 1831, to a depression of the fragile crust, undermined by the springs. If this statement should be confirmed, tne future of Ischia is hopeless No one will dare to build, and visitors will keep dear of a spot where at any moment the firm land may sink beneath their feet This is a dis­ mal fate DUEL TO THE DEAT& Desperate Xnconnter Co" or ado Ranchmen. Between Two [Laramie City Telegram.] h Three men In a white-covered wagon en­ tered Laramie City by the North Park road last night Two occupied the seat in front, the other, pale, haggard, and blood-Btained, groaned upon a bed of blankets in the box. At Dr. Harris' offioe they halted and then drove to the hospital, where the sufferer was placed. He was Charles Shelton, a wealthy horse-dealer. Last Friday night he had shot and killed Will Keys in aauel at Snyder's ranch on the little Grixsly, in North Park. His companions were August Henderson and Fred Lawrenoe, who detailed the pertkmlars of the tragedy. Shelton is proprietor of a horse- ranch in the park. Last Friday he was at Snyder's ranch helping to put up hay. Keys, who had an Interest in Snyder's ranch, was present While eating supper in la tent neer the cabin Keys asked a boy in Shelton's employ to go into the cabin and refill the teapot Tnis the boy refused to do, saying he was not in Key's employ. Keys abused tne boy. Shelton interfered, and a quarrel ensued. Keys left the table, and, Chester rifle He set the teapot down and turning to Shelton said: "Do you know, sir, that I nave a notion to kill you for this in­ sult?" "What insult?" rejoined Shelton, rising from his seat "I dare you to shoot" "I will not shoot you down like a dog, but will give you a chance for your life in a duel* "When and where? I am ready at any moment" "Now and on this spot" Keys finally stood the weapon againat the side of the tent, poured out the tea, and sal down again. Shelton walked out of the tent got another Winchester at the cabin, loaded it, came back to the tent, and, standing In the door, said that he was ready. In a minute seconds were procured, and Keys lumped from the table, and, selz* ing the rifle, brought it to his shoulder. In­ stantly two reports rang out almost to­ gether; Shelton dropped nia gun and ran out across the prairie nolding nls hands to his lace Soyaer started in pursuit while railed Keys'head.

In general, the only sound heard was the half-suppressed sobbing of women, who, at the time, 'pressed for­ ward, with outstretched arma, etying: "Maesta! Maestal'as if they expected the mere presence of the King to bring immedi­ ate relief. The exhalations were less offensive than yesterday, thanks to Hume and water that have been abundantly poured over the ruins where putrefying corpses are too deeply buried to be dug out This measure, however, ha* created great indignation among the bereaved, who still hope to find their loved ones alive. The Duke of Sen Donato made urgent representations en the subject to the King. Stgnor Oenala assured the Duke that wfiere there sOemed .̂any chanoe of rescuing live vlstlma the excava­ tions would be continued. As he proceeded up hill, eeeh turn of the road diselosing freah spectacles of woe, the King broke forth into exclamations of aston­ ishment and grief. Signor Oenala urged him to turn back, on account of the diffi­ culty of the asoent, but his feeling reply was: '-If others go so can I Disaster makes all men equaL" Most harrowing incidents occurred en route The few survivors encamped among the vineyaid* met the King with piercing cries for aid, aocompenied by the most fsantic gestures. 11# King aikel S'gnor Genala whether the rescued property of the wretched islanders was respected. The Minister replied that unhappily in many in­ stances this had not been the case. Yester­ day eight rascals caught plundering among the ruins had been arrested and sent to Jiaplei Strict measures bad been taken to prevent any one coming from that city witbout a permit from the authorities. ; From Forio the King proceeded to Laoco Ameno, the upper part of whish township Is almost entirely destroyed. Here a thrilling incident occurred. A falr-halrtd a trapping Englithman, Mr. Louis Nesblt, wss enthusi­ astically pointed out to the King bjr the apeek. but made signs for his was given him. He took paper and pencil from one of the pockets and wrote: "Is Kejshurty" Sydney wrote be­ neath the question the woWla: "He la dead." The ball from Shelton's rifle entered Keys' side in front of the left armpit, passed through the body, and came out lust above the right shoulder.

Z The Isehla Calamity. ** The mall aeoouats of the bohla calamity bring It before the reader In still more vivid oolora than those of the telegrams. At Cas­ amicciola there waa a resident population of 4.0C0, and the town was crowded with visit- era After a premonitory roaring the earth began to roll and aurge -like a pot of thick mush," and iu an instant buildings began to crackle and crumble into heaps of rubbish. Great cracks opened in the earth, into which many houses disappeared bodily. It was about 10 o'clock at night arhen the end came. A moment before, and a large town was fall of people, many already in bed. A moment later, and not a single house waa left standing, savin? only a small church by the sea, ana the roof was partly shaken off that A few of tfce inhabitants escaped to the streets only to be crushed later by fall­ ing walla Dense masses of sulphurous smoke and dust were emitted, in Which many were suffocated. There was not a light left It was total darkness. Not until morning could the survivors begin to rescue the wounded In the rains of th it single town 4,OUO people lie entombed. For a day or two many lingered in suffering. One by one their cries ceased. In two or three days the progress of decomposition haa made the work of seeking for remains an impossible task. This is the history of one town. There were a half-dozen others in which similar scenes were witnessed upon a smaller scale It was one of the most appalling disasters of modern times. „ Oar Forests. The meeting of the American Forestry congress was held at St Paul The primary object of this association is the preservation of our forests. Dr. Loring, United States Commissioner of Agriculture, is its Presi­ dent and delivered the opening addresa Among other things he said that the con­ sumption of pine lumber by fire and in the arts was very great, and suggested that the future supply might be obtained by allow­ ing an exhausted region to recuperate while the lumberman resorts to uncut sections for the purpose of his demands. New Hampshire and Vermont are exhausted of their pine supply, and their spruce will last but seven and four years respectively at the present rate of consumption. In Maine the pine will last bur four and spraoe fifteen years, while in South Carolina, at the present rate of cutting, the pine forests will last fifty years; California, ISO years; Arkan­ sas, 800 years; Pennsylvania, 15 years; 80 ye _ . Louisiana, 100 years; North Carolina, 50 years; Wisconsin, 20 OeoTfia, #.yeai», years; Michigan, 10 years; Minnessoto, 10 years; Mississippi, 160 years; Alabama, DO years; Florida, lO years; Texas, 250 years. Exhausted forests can be restored in time, and to thia end every means should be ap­ plied both by people and Government, eaeh within its own Jurisdiction The Cholera. If it is true that the cholera, which haa caused such dreadful ravages in Egypt, is not the genuine Asiatic disease, there is, of course, every reason for believing that we will escape a visitation from the plague Asiatic cholera of the most malignant type The physiciana cent from India Into Egyptby the British Government say the disease is noth­ ing like the plague. with which they are familiar in India. There is a doubt, then, as to the character of the pestilence If it is an endemic disease, there is no occasion for alarm either in Europe or America; if it is an epidemic disease, ft is eertain to take the grand tour around the inhabitable earth. Chewing Agricultural Prospects. In the midst of a somewhat, to say the least, doubtful financial and commercial outlook the prospect of a most bount ful harvest, and consequent plentiful breadstuff supply at moderate prices, is such as should Insure popular content and tranquility. In­ deed, the agricultural prospect ul SO hope­ ful as to constitute a silver lining to the somewhat darker than ordinary cloud that just now obscures the horizon of trade and commeroe. :i,#E STATE ELECTIONS.

"Was the invention of the telephone the result of a deliberate research and experiment for that purpose, or was it a discovery rather than a creation?" "It was the result of long and patient study of two distinct lines of thought which finally blended in one, producing the telephone. I had for a long time , studied the subject of speech and the organs by which it is., produced, as had my father before me, and, in doing so, , conceived the idea of producing artifi­ cial sounds by a certain system. I came r to Canada for my health, I am a native of Scotland, you know, and while studying electricity in the woods there, and on regaining my lost health I was ' called by the officials of the Boston schools to introduce a new system of teaching the deaf. It was nothing les» P than tjjiat of teaching them to speak. 1 had long believed it possible to teach the deaf the use of the mouth and or­ gans of speech and had demonstrated it " in some degree, and gladly accepted the ; opportunity of puttiug the system into s practical operation. I undertook the work, keeping up, however, my study V oi electricity and its applicat'oa to Bound production, working late at night after other people were at rest. In the , course of . my efforts to demonstrate to • the deaf how the found waves affect the hearing ear I made use of a little in­ strument with a membranous diaphragm V which responded to the sound waves. I & conceived the idea of writing those s sound waves on smoked glass so that they might be read. Continuing the ^ experiment still further, I obtained a human ear, and found that by speaking ' into it I could produce similar but more * satisfactory results, a little bone injihe r?;; ear being moved by the vibration of the ^; ear drum and writing the sound waves on the glass. All this time I was con­ tinuing my experiments with sound and ^ the application of electricity to its pro­ duction. I had succeeded in u consid- erable degree when suddenly the idea ; of connecting the two successful ex- u periments occurred to me. and I did BO, attaching the ear to the instrument by : which the sounds were produced, and.I had the telephone. The remainder ;; was only a matter of detail. The two lines 01 thought and investigation ' which I had followed so long and patiently blended there, and the result if| waa the telephone.*--SL Louis Pott-1 Dispatch.
